Delightful

We had a lovely 8-day stay and the ocean views from the house are spectacular. We particularly enjoyed the home’s big and screened lanai. The Kona Paradise community is a very relaxed place and the nearby Pebble Beach is a fantastic spot for playing in the water and watching the sun set. The short but steep walk to the beach is worth it - and there are several parking spots for those who need to drive. There are good, casual food options nearby within 10-15 miles. We would stay here again!

Epic Downtime

Great hosts and accommodations! We’ve stayed in a lot of places in Hawaii but this one is different in several ways that will bring us back for sure. Quiet location. It’s really rare to find a place that doesn’t have roosters. Superb kitchen. Lots of functional space. Covered parking. Did I say quiet? Easy access to south Kona region. We would definitely return for more!

Heaven on a hill

We love the house- hate the humidity. Of course, that is common to the whole island,,,,We had daily visits from a gecko we named Gary. At least we think it was the same little fellow; we only saw two geckos simultaneously once Plus, there's a cute little baby gecko in the bedroom who is shy and climbs around at night. The neighborhood and the driveway are all steep like San Francisco hills. There are a few spices in the kitchen and a good selection of cooking/baking equipment. At night the coqui frogs talk a lot - and in the morning, the birds do. We found both very pleasant. Lots of plumeria and a smattering of other flowers, Very peaceful place. it's a bit of a bummer to have to transport garbage to the transfer station - I don't think that was in the listing Since we have to get water for drinking/cooking from a "nearby" spigot, I would suggest including a photo of what it looks like and a better idea of the location in the welcome binder . We drove by it 4 days before we found it. It's not too far north of the transfer station in a turn out mauka side, directly behind a short directional sign

Beautiful house in Kona Paradise

The property is nice overall. The house is clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The road to and from it to the main road is extremely steep. At night time the heat was unbearable in the bedrooms. The property manager was thoughtful. The noisy frogs and bird was overwhelmed.

It was wonderful

The house is great. We watched the sunset every evening. It’s steep getting down and up but, it’s doable. The house has everything you need:coolers, chairs for the beach, masks and fins, and umbrella. The house has spices, cooking oil, DVDs, and games. The laundry room has everything you need to wash clothes. You might need breakfast things for the first morning but, check around first before you get groceries. It is hot in afternoon but, they have fans. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. It’s an awesome house. The birds kept us entertain. We are glad we stayed there.

A Great Place to Relax

We rented a car and toured most of the island. Plenty of room for the two of us. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the sound of birds in the evening. The location is a bit out of the way from any tourist attractions, stores, etc. but we knew that ahead of time.

Amazing views!!!

Beautiful home and very well appointed. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable furniture, cozy and comfortable beds. Enjoyed whale watching from the lanai. It is steep coming and going but certainly manageable, glad we had 4 wheel drive. Description says “ steps from the beach” a bit misleading but doable. We loved our stay, were there for a month and would return in a heartbeat! Both the owner and on island manager were available and responsive.

Wild beauty

We had a great time at the house. I would recommend 4wheel drive if you rent a car because the roads are quite steep. This is the price of great views. The house geckos are adorable and we got a lot of good pics. The manager was also kind and responsive.

Island delight

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to a beautiful black rock beach and good snorkeling. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood roads are quite steep so we were glad to have a 4wd car. We visited many wonderful parts of the Big Island and even got to see the eruption of a volcano. Each day we were happy to return to the house, sit on the porch and watch glorious sunsets.

It's a tropical treehouse!

The house is very clean and well set up with a view of the ocean and very little view of the surrounding houses due to the tree canopy. The lanai is very comfortable and I could pretend to be outside even when I was feeling too lazy to actually go out. We were close enough to the ocean to hear it, which was lovely, and there are doves and cardinals in the trees, calling to each other all day. It was quite charming. I even enjoyed the coqui frogs at night, to my surprise. (Coquis have a bad reputation on the Big Island but I found out that I actually like their chirping. They sound like crickets.) The downside for me is the low elevation: my ears are very sensitive to a change in air pressure and when we went up and down the (very steep) road every day I felt like I was always landing a plane although it didn't bother my husband at all. But like I said, I'm quite sensitive. I would have appreciated motion sensor lights on the porch because there were no lights on when we arrived at almost 10 pm and it's pitch dark at night on BI because of the telescope. Overall, it's a very comfortable property and we have already booked our vacation there for next February. Aloha nut loa

Pebble Beach home

Enjoyed the well equipped kitchen! Location to beach is perfect. Having a full kitchen and laundry when away for weeks is super helpful. This felt like our home for the week! We enjoyed morning and evenings on the lanai. We Can tell the house was empty for a few weeks, it was dusty and could have used a clean prior to our arrival. Thank you! This big Island is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay, would recommend!

Amazing view

This home is amazing. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights and it was not long enough. There was plenty of room for another couple. You will definitely benefit from a 4x4 staying here as it is right down by the beach and the drive in is steep. The driveway as well. Worth the drive South. This home has everything you could need and more.

Gorgeous Views

The views from the Lanai were absolutely gorgeous. Black Pebble Beach was just down the road to enjoy the sunsets and the sound of the ocean. It was about 45 minutes from Kailua Kona. The drive didn’t bother us as we drove all over the Island anyway. It was nice to go back to a peaceful community after a long day. Kitchen was fully stocked, beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards. The house did get hot with no air conditioning but we did open windows and doors after coming back and it seemed to help. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home, We would definitely stay again

Kona Paradise

My overall impression of the property is that it is in a great location and the owner is easy to contact and work with. He was quite accommodating in our departure based on a late flight. The house is in dire need of cleaning. It is also in need of new window coverings and some basic TLC. While we definitely enjoyed our stay there are other options in the same sub-division that we have used previously that are maintained better. The cleaning fee was steep for the amount of cleaning we did when we arrived and the house was dirty and needed a deep cleaning.
